Mangold says no to House bid

Former New York Jets player Nick Mangold says he will not seek the Republican nomination for Congress in New Jersey’s 11th district.

“I am not running for Congress. While it would be an amazing opportunity and honor to serve the people of New Jersey’s District 11, I am not at a place where I could commit to that,” Mangold said in a Twitter post. “I like to investigate every opportunity that comes to me and this one will not go any further. However, I do appreciate the support that was given in my short period of possibly thinking about running for Congress.”
